I had extended conversations recently with a chap on a vacation trip. He owns a successful small firm that does business with a Marmon subsidiary, Cerro Fabricated Products.

The business? Forged and machined components for the AR-15 rifle platform. The chap claimed that Cerro has been the most prolific manufacturer of such parts in the USA. He said: “you own Berkshire – you own the biggest maker of AR-15 parts in the country”.

Cerro used to have a picture of Warren in the lobby but took it down at some point. Possibly did not want to advertise their association with a known liberal?

Parts We Forge
- Military and Law Enforcement Firearms Components

Not only military and law enforcement firearms, I think...

Today, it is estimated that there are over 20 million AR-15 rifles in the U.S., most of which have been made domestically in the past two decades.

How do we all feel about this (if true)?

Personally, I am not a fan of the AR-15.
Yes, they are fun to shoot.
Clearly, they add to the growing gun violence problem in the USA, Mexico and elsewhere.
